JOHN FURY claimed a trim Oleksandr Usyk looks like he’s ready to fight Paris rather than her husband Tyson.
The Ukrainian, 36, is set to face the WBC heavyweight world champion in a unification bout in April.
But the WBA, WBO, IBF and The Ring king will come in a lot smaller, lighter and shorter than his 6ft 9ins opponent.
And Fury’s dad piled in on Usyk’s “terrible” physique – by suggesting Usyk needs to pile on the pounds.
But even if he does, he still expects the Gypsy King to be far too much to handle and he might fare better against his 5ft 4ins wife and mum-of-six Paris.
Fury Sr told talkSPORT via Freebets.com: “Looking at Usyk getting out the pool the other day, he needs to do something different physically to get in the ring with Tyson.
“We could put the boxing gloves on Paris and let her fight him based on how he looked the other day.
“They are about the same size. I think Paris has a bigger pair of shoulders, to be fair.
“He did himself no favours with a body like that. He looked terrible, like he’s not eaten for three months.
“When they are out of so-called ‘training’ their body disappears.
“And then you see them transformed a few months later. Like a head transplant onto another body. He will go from a rabbit to an oversized rabbit in a few months.
“Tyson is unbeatable.
“The Gypsy King has won all over the world. He beat one Ukrainian dosser, he will beat another.”
Fury, 34, boasts a staggering 33-0-1 professional record with 24 wins by knockout.
Now his full attention is on the showdown with Usyk.
An announcement is said to be “imminent” but there is still uncertainty over where the fight will take place.
Frank Warren, Fury’s British promoter, told Seconds Out Youtube channel: “Both sides want the fight and are up for the fight.
“We are in a like mind.
“I don’t think we’re far off from announcing it.
“It’s basically just a couple of things behind the scenes we’re just trying to get sorted.
